Period. Gather ‘round kids. Let me tell you of why I think this podcast is the absolute pinnacle of Nintendo Switchery podcast perfection….First and foremost , RJS has the voice, the disposition, and maybe most importantly) a love for all things Nintendo. Put all that together in a padded studio and you’re cooking with gas my man. The show lasting on average 30 minutes is absolutely perfect for someone like me who is just about always slammed with work, traveling, or just trying to catch up on sleep, I can always squeeze in a half hour show to get caught up on the latest and greatest news within the Nintendo universe. I really can’t say enough good things about the show; it’s my all time favourite and I highly recommend it to anyone who is just as much of a Nintendo fan as I am. Thanks again RJS. I wish you lots of success in the future. I’ll be there supporting you every step of the way!JCavuto gave 2 stars and said there are many better Nintendo podcasts out thereSevin Korbo gave 1 start - Just falls short of what other podcasts bring to the table. One person rattling off news by himself does not a good podcast make. Yeah he has a nice voice, but I can’t stand it for so long, unbroken by any other voices or other opinion. That’s what makes Nintendo Voice Chat so good, they have multiple people with diverse gaming backgrounds. One person just can't cover all the Switch has to offer from a place of authority.JJeco also gave one star - A little one noteEmail Karl Emailed - Hey there, hope you are well.I have four friends who own a switch. Yet I'm the only one to have downloaded the Switch online app. There reasons for not downloading is that it's very bare bones, and is not particularly useful.I've come up with a couple of simple ideas which could entice people to use the app. Access to the E shop, allow me to buy content, when I'm away from my switch. Allow me to buy Amiibo data, and use my phones NFC to use data on my switch. Some of the Amiibo are hard to find, and some folk do not want the figures. Having a digital collection with out the clutter but all the benefits would be great. Access to my game screen shots. Take a pic in game, Up load to Lakitu (the Nintendo cloud) and have access to them on my phone, to do with as I want. Most people take there phone everywhere, so have some sort of street pass, maybe swap friend codes of people you pass.Are there any features you think would make the app better .........VoicemailNewsNindies @ Night stream on HyperRPGShovel Knight AmiiboNYKO unveils their portable dockNBA2K

I’ve listened to a lot of nintendo Podcast over the last few years, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to discover this one! The quality, research, insights and pacing of this podcast are all perfect, and the run times of each episode never feel overwhelming. I really enjoy the music and retro cutscenes that bring me back to my childhood as well! I worked in radio for several years and know how hard it can be to run a solo show, but RunJumpStomp makes it seem easy, and that’s what a true testament to his talent. I highly recommend this podcast to any Nintendo fan or anyone who enjoys video games.

There is just no way that one person can create so much content, so much rich content as there is on RJS platforms. If he expects us to believe that this is just himself then he’s got another thing coming. I’m watching you Bill. For quite some time now I’ve suspected that you are able to defy physics by multiplying yourself in order get as much done as you do. We see you live-streaming while the other you works the camera/all background equipment and the other one of you works your social media and who knows how many others coming up with all kind of numerous shenanigans including this podcast.

I wish I found this podcast sooner. I have only been listening for a few weeks now but this has already proven to be my favorite Nintendo podcast. It is superior to others I listen to (without naming them) for a multitude of reasons. Episodes come out frequently throughout the week so news is given timely and the episodes are short, sweet and to the point. In addition to this, what makes the host better than most is the attention he gives to feedback (both positive and negative. Keep up the great work RJS!@joelmead24 tweeted - Will the Switch version of Batman telltale be all 5 episodes or just 1 to start? They also tweeted Wondering why RBI Baseball 17 is coming to the switch. This season is almost over, why not wait for next year to release ‘18?Sean emailedLove the podcast. Now that I am downloading a lot of your suggestions, I feel a good topic to discuss is expandable storage. What micro-SD cards are a must have and what one should we stay away from. I'd love to hear that on an upcoming episode!Thanks, and keep crushing the competition. Only Switch podcast that matters in my opinion.Sean Speed class (Go for class 10)128gb is the sweet spot for price, but if you can afford a bigger card then go for it.I bought this oneHere is a 256 gb class 10 from Samsung expensive though VoicemailNewsPre-orders for the SNES Classic Mini went up around 10pm PST at Best Buy. 20 minutes later the were out.
